Ripping

July 24, 2010 2:19:58 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Just a short report as I hate to type.

In case one doesn't know, we have skinners(WB) on this site that download all uploads checking to see if they were ripped or anyone else.  That also goes for dream makers. paper hangers and all other catagories.  Us Mods can't catch everything.  As I concentrate on logonstudio, dreams thats where I do catch the most.  I also do a couple more catagories but they don't seem to get many uploads.  I also catch some in the wallpaper section as I review everyone.  The other Mods do the same for what they mod but still some get through.  Thats where the community comes in.  So to make this short.........

Ones elevator has to be stuck somewhere between the basement and the top floor if they think they can slip one by, as it will be caught.  Might be a day or 2 but they will be caught.

If I was mod and someone slipped one (or more) by me...I would be so mad I would go all Charles Bronson on them.

I see 'rips' a lot here...mostly the wallpaper section.I pester a few of them and they sometimes pull their own work.(I mostly just dont go in there)

I know its not my job to play vigilante so I will try to do it by reporting to a mod in the future.

 

Its pretty easy to spot phony work...a good photoshopper can see in a blink of an eye when an image has different levels of skill.When a 'ripper' combines pro level elements with their own badly made elements its a dead giveaway.(or badly inserts pro level stuff)

 

You may be fooling your 'friends'...but you aint fooling the pros.

I know where your coming from on this one WOM, I used to do this myself for a couple of other sites in the past, and it is no easy chore.  I must say though it was really fun kicking the Ripper's in the ass so to speak (and off the site)!

Yeah I've caught stuff like that as well. I especially love when they don't even bother trying to hide it...as though no one will catch on!

Are those hallucinogenic, by any chance???  

(might help explain all the fractals we bin seeing lately)

And do you make a soup out of them... or dry them out, roll 'em up and smoke 'em???

If a skin thief is caught once then a PM may sort matters out - often it's newbie ignorance rather than purposeful deceit. If the skinner persists in ripping then a name and shame ought to be employed; that just might deter others, rather than a covert exile.
